Canon
1.
It
is
expedient
for
the
preserving
of
●ealth
,
and
preveening
of
diseases
,
that
e●ery
one
whose
age
and
force
doth
permite
,
should
everie
yeare
draw
blood
and
purge
,
and
that
in
the
spring
,
because
the
body
replenished
with
humors
doth
readily
at
that
tyme
fall
in
diverse
diseases
,
while
as
the
naturall
heate
revived
,
by
the
approching
of
the
sunne
towards
〈◊〉
doth
attempt
the
expulsion
of
these
humors
out
of
the
body
,
from
the
which
enterprise
of
nature
ariseth
a
conflict
,
if
nature
haue
the
victory
,
man
escapeth
:
but
if
shee
succumbe
,
man
dyeth
:
that
nature
doth
thus
attempt
the
expulsion
of
these
humors
,
it
is
knowne
by
these
intercutanean
diseases
,
as
are
itch
,
pustuls
,
byles
,
vlcers
,
and
such
like
,
which
wee
see
commonly
in
the
Spring
to
fall
out
.
The
body
in
the
winter
by
two
meanes
is
replenished
with
humors
,
the
one
is
by
that
extraordinarie
appetite
whereby
men
are
carryed
:
yea
,
rather
forced
to
eate
more
meate
in
that
season
than
in
the
Summer
:
this
appetite
proceedeth
from
the
greater
heate
of
the
stomack
then
,
than
at
any
other
tyme
.
The
other
meane
whereby
the
body
is
replenished
,
is
the
envyroning
cold
,
whereby
dissipation
of
these
three
substances
(
to
wit
,
the
airy
,
humide
and
solide
is
hindered
,
as
also
the
excretion
of
the
vapours
by
the
small
holes
,
or
pores
of
the
body
.
It
is
therefore
need●ull
to
helpe
nature
,
and
light
her
of
this
burhen
,
by
drawing
of
blood
,
or
phlebotomy
and
purging
:
And
because
the
reward
of
Physitians
in
this
countrey
being
frequently
,
My
Lord
,
GOD
reward
you
,
hath
made
Physitians
to
bee
scarse
,
and
no
wonder
,
for
how
shall
his
L.
liue
vpon
this
rent
,
is
it
not
to
content
my
Lord
with
the
poore
folks
almes
,
who
get
often
GOD
helpe
you
,
they
differ
in
forme
,
but
not
in
matter
:
this
scarsitie
constraineth
the
Gentlemen
to
commit
themselues
to
bee
handled
by
ignorants
,
who
least
they
should
deale
with
them
as
that
Chirurgeon
of
Iedburgh
dealt
with
his
patients
,
who
forced
all
them
of
whom
hee
drew
blood
,
their
wound
vnder-cotting
,
to
returne
to
haue
it
healed
,
and
being
asked
the
reason
of
this
of
his
little
boy
,
hee
answered
,
that
for
making
of
the
wound
by
opening
of
the
veine
,
hee
gote
a
Weather
,
but
for
curing
of
the
same
a
Kow
,
that
every
one
may
vnderstand
for
his
owne
well
,
I
will
insist
a
little
on
phlebotomie
and
purging
.
Of
Phlebotomie
.
PHLEBOTOMIE
then
is
an
evacua●ion
of
the
vitious
humors
abounding
in
the
body
,
mixed
with
the
blood
,
by
the
opening
of
a
veine
.
This
is
either
vrged
by
the
present
disease
,
which
admittes
no
delay
,
or
it
is
voluntare
for
the
preveening
of
the
imminent
,
when
the
present
danger
doeth
presse
,
it
maye
bee
at
any
time
of
the
yeere
,
or
any
houre
in
the
daye
or
night
without
exception
,
and
that
in
diverse
places
of
the
bodye
,
as
the
nature
of
the
disease
shall
require
:
when
it
is
by
election
,
or
voluntarie
for
preveennig
of
future
diseases
,
the
most
fitte
tyme
of
the
yeere
,
is
the
Spring
,
in
the
latter
end
of
March
,
or
the
beginning
of
Aprile
,
and
the
most
proper
houre
in
the
daye
is
the
morning
:
an
houre
or
more
after
you
are
awake
,
hauing
made
a
cleane
Ship
,
fore
and
est
,
(
as
the
Sea-men
saye
:
)
the
most
accommodate
place
is
the
veine
basilike
,
or
lever
veine
,
the
Chirurgian
hauing
rubbed
it
with
his
hand
,
or
a
drye
cloth
before
,
for
the
gathering
of
the
bloode
thither
,
then
having
tyed
it
,
let
him
make
the
incision
beneath
the
place
,
where
it
meeteth
with
the
veine
Cephalicke
,
about
two
fingers
breadth
,
hauing
marked
the
place
before
,
and
anoynted
it
with
a
litle
oyle
,
holding
the
veine
fast
,
lest
it
should
slyde
with
the
thumbe
of
the
left
hand
if
the
incision
bee
made
with
the
right
hand
,
and
leaning
the
hand
wherewith
hee
openeth
the
veine
on
the
arme
of
the
patient
,
that
it
may
bee
stable
,
and
giuing
him
who
is
bled
a
battoun
in
his
hand
,
for
to
stirre
his
fingers
,
to
that
effect
the
bloode
may
issue
the
better
,
and
hauing
drawne
such
a
measure
as
the
nature
force
and
age
of
the
person
may
well
suffer
,
slacking
the
band
,
let
him
laye
vpon
the
wound
a
little
peece
of
linnen
cloath
dipped
in
water
and
tyed
softly
by
a
band
of
linnen
till
all
danger
of
new
bleeding
bee
past
,
keeping
still
the
arme
all
that
daye
free
from
all
motion
.
Blood
may
bee
taken
in
greater
measure
of
sanguineans
and
bilious
,
than
of
melancholious
,
and
phlegmaticks
,
of
young
men
than
of
old
,
and
of
men
than
women
.
Except
it
bee
of
such
who
by
often
sacrificing
to
Bacchus
,
their
head
takes
now
and
then
a
giddie
startling
,
their
tongue
a
tedious
tratling
,
their
taile
a
vile
wauering
.
These
monsters
of
nature
,
shame
of
their
sex
,
crosse
of
their
husband
,
and
disgrace
of
kin
,
friend
and
allyance
should
bee
bledde
in
both
the
leggs
and
armes
,
and
in
the
croppe
of
the
tongue
,
by
a
crosse
sneck
to
that
end
,
it
may
bee
made
slower
for
talking
,
and
stiffer
for
drinking
,
least
continuing
in
this
wicked
mood
,
they
make
their
husbands
Cuckolds
,
their
bairnes
bastards
and
beggars
,
themselves
whoores
and
theeues
.
Iustly
many
are
molested
with
such
beasts
,
who
glames
at
the
turde
for
the
twelfe
pence
sticken
in
it
:
the
corruption
of
our
tyme
being
such
that
Tome
the
tinklers
sonne
metamorphosed
in
a
Gentlman
,
sutes
mistresse
Marie
my
Lords
daughter
,
and
Sir
Iohn
my
Lords
second
,
speares
out
for
Sandie
the
Souters
fourtie
thousand
mark
Iennie
.
This
Tom
aiming
at
vanitïe
rather
than
vertue
,
comes
to
honours
or
hornes
by
his
wife
,
and
Sir
Iohn
looking
to
geare
more
than
to
grace
,
is
often
perplexed
,
while
the
trash
is
wasted
,
by
a
Masie
Fae
or
a
Maly
Dae
.
I
wonder
that
their
vnequall
conjunctions
doe
not
fill
the
countrie
with
monsters
lyke
Muiets
which
is
begotten
betuixt
a
Mare
and
an
Asse
.
Of
Loch-leachs
.
Some
vse
Loch-leaches
when
they
cannot
haue
the
vse
of
drawing
of
blood
.
These
little
beastes
are
not
to
be
applyed
presently
,
after
they
come
out
of
the
water
,
but
they
must
bee
keept
foure
and
twentie
houres
in
a
vessell
,
full
of
faire
water
,
that
they
may
spue
out
this
,
while
the
filthie
mudde
&
drosse
is
within
them
.
They
should
bee
gripped
with
a
whyte
●innen
cloath
,
for
the
bare
hand
cankers
them
.
The
place
to
the
which
they
are
to
bee
applyed
,
should
be
smeered
over
with
blood
,
to
that
end
they
may
enter
the
sooner
:
and
when
yee
would
haue
them
to
fall
,
sprinkle
a
little
Aloes
or
salt
on
them
,
if
yee
would
them
to
draw
more
then
they
are
able
to
containe
,
cut
off
their
taile
while
they
are
yet
hanging
,
and
if
the
bleeding
'
stanch
not
after
they
are
fallen
,
apply
with
a
band
,
of
cloath
or
wooll
brunt
and
beatten
to
pouder
.
There
bee
other
Loch-leaches
or
blood-suckers
not
spoken
of
here
,
such
bee
gold
greedie
,
inventors
of
new
impositions
,
faith
lesse
victuall
forestallers
,
and
treacherous
quarrells
,
and
processe
hatchers
,
who
bereauing
by
these
meanes
his
innocent
brother
of
his
goods
the
entertainers
of
his
life
,
may
bee
tearmed
rather
man
slayars
than
blood
suckers
.
These
vnlyke
to
the
former
,
does
sucke
the
best
blood
but
like
the
former
in
others
,
for
they
never
of
them selues
fall
from
that
sucking
till
they
bee
not
able
to
containe
any
more
;
if
ye
sprinkle
them
with
the
sharpe
pouder
of
Aloes
,
(
that
is
with
justice
)
then
they
fall
,
and
if
you
continue
to
persue
them
by
the
same
,
you
shall
find
them
as
the
former
by
salt
,
so
they
by
it
are
forced
to
spue
out
the
vndigested
blood
of
the
poore
,
and
cut
mee
the
taile
from
them
that
is
,
make
them
quyte
of
wyfe
and
barnes
,
in
whose
person
they
feare
the
curse
of
the
great
judge
.
These
grinders
of
the
face
of
the
poore
,
shall
never
make
an
end
of
sucking
.
These
as
vnworthie
to
bee
thought
or
spoken
of
by
any
good
Christian
,
I
leaue
to
bee
handled
,
yea
,
justly
to
bee
hanged
by
the
Iustice
heire
,
and
if
they
amend
not
,
to
bee
tormented
by
the
great
Iustice

heereafter
.
Of
purging
.
And
because
our
countrie
Leeches
,
considering
the
disposition
of
the
people
amongst
whom
they
liue
(
who
esteeme
well
of
no
meate
but
that
which
rakketh
the
belly
,
though
it
were
draffe
and
satlings
:
so
they
think
of
no
physike
,
but
that
which
sendeth
them
three
or
foure
score
tymes
to
the
midding
)
doth
carie
about
with
them
commonly
for
this
ende
(
to
vse
their
termes
)
colocinthida
,
stibium
,
and
diagirdium
,
violent
firie
remedies
,
whereby
the
body
is
mightily
endomaged
:
it
shall
not
bee
a-misse
to
consider
what
purging
is
,
and
the
nature
of
the
remedies
proper
for
the
same
.
Purging
then
(
as
commonly
it
is
taken
)
is
a
cleansing
of
the
body
of
the
superfluous
humors
by
vse
of
medicine
working
downeward
,
the
purgatiues
are
diverse
,
according
to
the
diverse
nature
of
the
humors
that
is
to
bee
purged
.
The
humors
are
three
,
bile
,
flegme
,
and
Melancholy
:
the
purgatiues
are
either
gentle
,
mediocre
,
or
violent
.
The
gentle
purgatiues
of
bile
,
are
Casse
,
manna
,
the
juice
of
Roses
,
Tamarinds
,
sweete
prunes
.
Casse
being
of
temper
hote
and
humid
,
being
corrected
because
it
is
wind●e
,
with
anyse
or
finckle
seede
,
it
may
be
given
to
all
sort
of
persons
,
to
bairnes
halfe
an
vn●●
,
to
aged
an
once
and
an
halfe
,
or
two
〈◊〉
the
most
.
Manna
being
temperate
in
qualities
may
bee
given
the
weight
of
an
vnce
to
bairnes
,
and
two
or
three
vnces
for
men
,
for
some
men
correct
the
slownesse
of
it
,
by
three
or
foure
graine
weights
of
diagridium
.
The
juice
of
roses
is
hote
and
dry
in
the
first
degree
,
the
dose
is
from
an

and
an
halfe
to
two
vnces
,
the
syrope

rose
solutiue
made
of
this
juice
is
from
an

The
dose
of
Tamarinds
is
from
halfe
an
vnce
to
a
whole
.
Sweete
prunes
are
given
in
number
from
twelue
to
foure
and
twentie
.
The
mediocre
purgatives
of
bile
,
are
Aloes
,
Rheubarb
,
Myrabolans
,
Citrins
.
The
dose
of
Aloe
hote
in
the
second
,
and
dry
in
the
third
degree
,
according
to
Galen
,
is
from
a
dragme
to
one
and
an
halfe
,
or
two
at
the
most
,
it
is
most
vsed
in
pilluls
;
because
it
is
sharpe
and
byting
,
it
is
corrected
with
mastix
,
and
being
slow
of
operation
it
is
hastned
by
the
juice
of
roses
.
Rheubarbe
hotte

drye
in
the

is
giuen
from
a

to
two
,
and
because
it
is
slow
in
operation
,
there
is
adjoyned
to
it
cynamome
or
spice
.
The
Myrabolans
citrins
are
almost
of
the
same
facultie
with
Rheubarbe
,
but
that
they
bind
more
:
their
dose
of
olde
was
from
two
dragm
.
to
halfe
an
vnce
,
Mesue
giveth
them
to
the
weight
of
five
dragm
.
they
are
rubbed
with
the
oyle
of
sweete
almonds
for
their
drynesse
cause
.
The
violent
purgatives
;
are
Diagrid
:
Azarum
and
Centaurie
the
lesse
.
Diagrid
:
beeing
hotte
and
dry
in
the
third
degree
,
is
given
to
the
weight
of

graines
,
it

because
it
byteth
sore
with
the
juice
of
quinces

and
gumme
,
tragacantha
,
and
with

for
the
keeping
of
the

from
hurt
by
it
.
As
for
Azarum
and
Centaurie
the
lesse
,
because
they
are
out
of

I
passe
them
over
.

mediocre

The
gentle
comprehend

The
mediocre
are
the

Counsell

by

●ath
found
out

remeedie

:
would
GOD

would
admit

for
then
the
Nobilitie

Of
Vomitores
.
Because
some
(
as
bilious
constitutions
)
are
sooner
and
better
purged
by
vomiting
then
purging
:
and
seeing
it
is
much
vsed
,
consider
with
mee
the
remedies
of
it
.
Vomitores
then
as
the
purgatiues
are
of
three
sortes
,
to
wit
,
gentle
,
mediocre
,
and
violent
,
the
gentle
are
such
as
doe
procure
it
in
burdening
the
stomack
by
their
quantitie
,
as
warme
water
,
fat
broth
,
butter
,
oyle
,
and
the
like
taken
to
the
measure
of
ten
or
twelue
vnce
.
The
mediocre
are
the
seede
and
flower
of
Anyse
,
the
seede
and
roote
of
orage
,
the
Latin
terme
is
atriplex
,
the
roote
of
●azarum
,
given
from
a
dragme
to
foure
and
agarick
,
his
dose
a
dragme
.
The
vehements
are
,
the
se●de
and
flower
of
broome
,
to
the
quantitie
of
two
dragmes
,
gratiola
from
a
dragme
to
one
and
one
halfe
.
Some
of
the
Ancients
thought
it
to
be
expedient
for
the
health
to
vomite
everie
moneth
,
and
that
after
a
great
carrouse
,
but
this
counsell
needeth
not
to
be
given
to
the
soukespikkets
of
our
age
,
who
asthey
drinke
like
Suiczers
,
yea
rather
like
swine
,
they
cast
as
Dutches
,
yea
rather
like
dogs
,
it
were
little
fault
for
punishment
to
pinch
so
these
intemperate
and
vntymous
abusers
of
GODS
creatures
,
vntill
they
were
glad
with
the
dogs
to
returne
to
the
vomite
,
And
this
much
to
you
Drunkards
.
It
is
heere
to
be
remarked
that
growne
fat
men
should
not
bee
purged
by
vomiting
,
for
by
the
prease
,
yee
will
easily
breake
some
veine
in
their
body
:
nor
melancholicks
,
for
they
hardly
purge
vpward
;
nor
asthmaticks
,
or
such
as
hath
any
impediment
in
their
breath
,
through
the
infirmitie
of
their
lights
,
for
by
it
they
are
much
more
weakned
,
yea
sometymes
torne
:
nor
hectiks
,
for
their
body
being
already
worne
,
is
wholly
casten
downe
,
nether
they
who
are
of
a
weake
●eade
,
tender
eyes
,
of
a
long
neck
and
〈◊〉
narrow
breast
,
only
cholericks
,
being
of
strong
firme
constitution
,
not
burdened
with
flesh
,
and
much
subject
to
the
vomiting
of
bile
,
yallow
,
greene
,
or
sea
colored
:
as
also
phlegmaticks
of
a
rude
robust
nature
,
whose
stomack
is
full
of
flegme
,
should
be
purged
vpward
by
vomite
,
and
that
with
great
caution
follow●ng
in
it
,
the
advise
of
some
vnderstanding
man
,
for
no
lesse
danger
floweth
from
●he
extraordinarie
dose
of
vomitores
●nd
the
malegovernement
of
the
patient
both
after
,
and
while
it
worketh
then
by
purgatiue
medicines
.
I
haue
only
heere
for
breveties
cause
touched
the
qualities
of
the
medicaments
,
and
their
dose
,
living
the
forme
of
exhibition
,
and
preparation
to
the
giuers
,
that
takes
vpon
them
to
minister
physicke
in
the
country
.
It
is
to
bee
remarked
,
that
except
the
bodie
bee
so
full
of
blood
and
humors
,
that
the
physicke
cannot
pearce
through
them
,
purging
ought
to
precead
phlebotomie
,
howsoever
the
bellie
should
alwayes
bee
emptie
and
cleane
of
the
excrements
.
The
patient
should
keepe
himself
warme
while
the
medicine
is
working
helping
the
operation
by
a
gentle
motion
as
also
by
a
little
thinne
warme
broth
after
the
taking
of
it
about
a
littl●
space
.
And
because
that
the
not
working
o●
medicine
doth
affraight
many
,
it
is
to
b●
vnderstood
,
that
some
will
not
moue
th●
bodie
any
way
,
and
yet
doe
little
or
no
harme
to
it
,
such
are
gentle
&
mediocre
medicines
,
the
gentle
purgatiues
,
when
they
purge
not
,
are
turned
by
nature
into
the
blood
,
the
mediocre
into
the
nature
o●
the
humour
,
which
they
purge
whithe●
bile
,
pituite
,
or
melancholie
,
but
the
violent
cast
the
bodie
in
a
fever
readilie
,
and
become
venemous
,
while
as
nature
overcome
hath
not
force
to
expell
them
,
but
the
other
two
being
overcome
by
nature
,
are
reteined
within
the
bodie
,
so
that
the
stay
of
them
is
from
a
weakenesse
in
them
,
but
the
stoppe
of
the
last
is
from
a
weaknesse
in
the
bodie
.
Gentlemen
therefore
seing
you
know
both
the
names
and
varieties
of
the
purgatiues
spare
not
to
aske
at
your
Leeches
what
they
be
ere
yee
take
them
.
Bairnes
before
they
bee
eighteen
or
●wentie
yeare
of
age
,
and
old
men
after
●ourtie
,
(
except
they
be
of
a
strong
complexion
)
doth
not
stand
in
neede
of
this
yearly
purging
.

Flee
mornings
sleepe
,
and
lazie
lying
in
winter
after
six
,
and
summer
after
seven
,
for
long
lying
to
the
health
is
hurtsome
.
Because
it
hindreth
the
cleansing
of
the
bodie
from
the
excrements
,
(
and
judge
you
giue
it
bee
either
handsome
or
wholsome
to
see
the
midding
at
the
fire-end
)
while
it
stoppeth
the
passage
of
the
spirits
animale
,
the
causes
of
motion
for
their
expulsion
.
it
sharpeneth
,
or
by
the
haemorroides
o●
some
other
way
,
it
procures
melancholie
hypochondriake
,
sometimes
the
fever
quartan
,
sometimes
other
diseases
,
for
this
is
good
,
the
barke
of
the
roote
of
Tamarisk
,
and
of
capres
with
the
foresaid
herbs
.
The
retention
of
the
sweate
causes
the
itch
.
scabbe
,
pustuls
,
and
such
like
,
therefore
it
is
to
bee
procured
by
frictions
baines
and
exercise
.
Of
exercise
.
Because
that
frictions
,
and
baines
are
not
much
vsed
,
leaving
them
wee
shal●
speake
a
little
of
exercise
.
Exercise
should
be
much
regarded
an●
moderatlie
vsed
,
by
those
who
hath
〈◊〉
care
of
their
health
,
this
Galen
,
testifiet●
in
his
booke
of
good
and
evill
meate
i●
these
words
,
For
the
keeping
of
healt●
a
continuall
rest
is
a
great
hinder
:
as
i●
the
contrare
,
moderate
motion
is
a
gre●
helpe
.
By
exercise
the
members
of
th●
body
are
hardned
,
and
so
made
fitte
t●
sustaine
any
labour
,
the
naturall
heate
i●
quickned
,
and
so
prompter
for
his
functions
,
and
the
body
is
made
more
agil●
and
nimble
in
his
actions
.
Heere
by
exercise
I
vnderstand
honest
games
and
p●stimes
,
not
these
debosht
lose-tymes
,
cards
,
dyce
,
tables
,
and
such
like
fathers
,
and
fosterers
of
jarres
and
mischiefe
,
bookes
furnishing
lyes
,
oathes
,
blasphemie
,
hurtsome
to
the
health
of
the
body
,
troublesome
to
the
good
of
the
estate
,
and
hinderance
to
the
rest
and
peace
of
the
soule
:
I
leaue
such
devyces
of
Sathan
entysing
to
sinne
to
bee
thought
or
treated
of
by
ragged
ribaulds
,
and
lowsie
licentious
limmers
,
the
fittest
pen-men
of
such
a
processe
,
discharging
by
the
right
of
a
physitian
,
and
the
charity
of
a
Christian
,
all
generous
honest
spirits
,
who
tends
the
health
of
their
body
,
the
wealth
of
their
estate
;
and
aeternall
wellfare
of
their
soule
of
such
hel-bred
conceats
.
The
tyme
most
proper
for
these
honest
exercises
is
the
morning
,
when
the
stomack
hath
made
an
end
of
his
digestion
,
and
the
belly
of
his
expulsion
,
so
that
both
●ee
lightned
of
their
burthen
.
Hence
we
may
see
how
our
dayly
custome
of
exer●ising
after
meate
is
not
good
:
first
,
●hen
by
this
our
motion
the
digestion
is
hindred
by
a
catching
of
our
meate
to
●nd
fro
,
as
the
Plough-man
doth
with
his
●aill
in
his
coge
,
when
hee
would
haue
them
faine
cooled
,
this
catching
suffereth
it
not
to
settle
it selfe
in
the
ground
of
the
stomack
,
the
place
of
digestion
:
secondly
,
because
the
body
by
exercise
being
made
hote
,
draweth
from
the
stomack
and
the
lever
by
the
meanes
of
this
heate
,
the
meate
before
it
bee
well
prepared
,
which
breeds
obstructions
in
the
veines
within
,
and
scabbes
without
,
our
scabbed
schollers
,
that
keepeth
no
fit
tyme
,
nor
just
terme
of
their
pastimes
,
may
suffice
to
instance
this
alleagance
.
The
terme
or
end
of
exercising
,
should
bee
when
the
face
becommeth
red
and
swelled
and
the
sweate
issues
foorth
through
the
whole
body
,
leaving
it
before
reddnesse
,
turne
to
palenesse
,
and
swelling
to
swampnesse
,
and
sweate
to
be
like
weet
:
otherwise
in
stead
to
bee
refreshed
yee
shall
be
wearyed
,
and
for
dissipating
of
the
humores
by
the
pores
of
the
body
,
yee
shall
dissolue
the
spirits
by
the
passages
of
the
same
.
Some
exercises
imploy
some
particular
members
of
the
body
,
as
the
Tayler
his
hands
and
head
,
the
Webster
his
legges
and
armes
,
the
Tobacco
man
his
mouth
and
nose
,
the
Beggar
the
nailes
of
his
thumbes
,
and
tongue
,
Coupers
,
Trumpeters
,
and
Pipers
,
their
●heekes
,
hands
,
and

:
the
most
firie
and
wicked
scolds
their
tongue
,
and
the
●icentious
whoores
their
taile
:
these
I
passe

,
not
having
many
particular
exercises

treate
of
vsed

vs
worthie
of
consideration
,
or
speciall
delineation
,
and
very
few
vniversall
,
except
the
foote-ball
,
which
often
doth
more
good
to
the
Chi●urgians
,
than
evill
to
the
Physitians
by
a●y
helpe
the
body
getteth
:
the
gooffe
and

,
from
the
which
exercises
they
come
ofter
hungrie
than
sweating
,
and
the
●innice
or
ketch
the
best
of
all
,
if
it
bee
moderately
and
orderly
vsed
.
In
all
exercises
whereby
men
sweates
,
〈◊〉
except
these
that
are
vnder
the
sheetes
)
●hese
things
are
to
bee
remarked
:
first
,
●hat
in
your
gaming
your
mynde
be
free
●f
all
feare
,
the
gadges
being
little
or
none
,
otherwise
the
minde
shall
bee
in
a
con●inuall
vexation
,
and
neither
body
nor
mind
●hall
receaue
any
recreation
:
Secondly
,
if
〈◊〉
tyme
of
game
you
thirst
,
let
your
drink
●ee
small
aile
,
taken
in
a
little
quanti●ie
,
not
water
,
for
it
by
the
open
passages
going
streight
to
the
liver
,
will
coole
●t
too
much
,
on
the
which
insueth
often
hydropsie
,
nor
wyne
,
for
by
it
the
lyver
already
heate
is
set
on
a
fire
,
on
the
which
followeth
frequently
a
fever
:
Thirdly
,
after
your
exercise
haue
a
care
to
cause
rubbe
away
the
sweate
in
a
warme
chamber
with
dry
warme
linnings
see
that
the
body
rubbed
bee
straight
,
least
the
wrinkels
of
the
skinne
doe
hinder
the
issuing
of
the
sweate
,
see
the
rubbers
bee
many
and
nimble
,
and
that
they
rubbe
not
over
hard
,
for
this
doth
stoppe
the
passages
,
nor
too
soft
,
for
it
goeth
not
halfe
farre
in
,
but
a
mediocritie
in
all
things
is
good
.
The
excrements
of
the
heade
in
the
morning
ought
to
bee
purged
by
sternutatories
or
sneezngs
of
betonie
,
leafes
,
or
marjoline
leaues
,
and
by
masticatores
chawed
,
which
because
they
are
litle
in
vse
,
I
will
passe
over
them
,
and
speake
of
that
which
supplyeth
their
place
which
is
Tobacco
.
Of
Tobacco
.
Tobacco
is
an
hearbe
fetcht
from
the
West
Indies
to
vs
,
some
calleth
it
Nicotiana
,
from
Master
Iohn
Nicote
,
that
brought
it
first
to
France
out
of
Portugall
,
hee
beeing
Ambassadour
for
the
time
there
.
The
Portugalles
brought
it
first
in
Europe
,
out
of
the
Iland
Trinada
,
and
〈…〉
om
Peru
in
the
continent
of
America
,
●ome
tearme
it
petoun
or
tobacco
.
Tobacco
is
of
a
temper
hotte
and
dry
,
●s
appeareth
first
from
the
effects
thereof
,
●s
to
purge
cold
and
moist
humours
,
as
〈…〉
egme
,
or
pituite
:
hence
it
is
that
it
doth
●arme
to
fyrie
hotte
bilious
persons
,
except
it
bee
taken
in
little
quantitie
,
and
●hat
for
the
cleansing
of
the
head
from
●hese
cold
superfluous
humours
,
which
a
●old
stomacke
hath
sent
to
it
;
commonly
these
men
haue
cold
stomacks
,
hot
●ivers
,
and
weake
heads
,
(
for
these
three
●eadily
follow
one
another
:
)
so
the
cold
stomack
filleth
the
head
with
colde
va●ours
,
and
the
mouth
with
cold
humors
●s
doe
appeare
by
their
continuall
spitting
.
It
hurteth
also
melancholiens
(
if
it
bee
〈…〉
ot
for
the
foresaid
reasons
)
by
drying
of
●heir
body
too
much
,
but
aggrieth
best
with
the
pituous
●●●gmatick
,
as
dayly
experience
doth
approve
.
Secondly
,
from
●he
byting
qualitie
that
is
in
it
,
by
the
which
it
moveth
vomite
.
Thirdly
,
from
●he
purging
facultie
downward
.
Fourthly
,
from
the
penetrative
subtile
facultie
outward
,
as
appeareth
by
the
issuing
of
sweate
,
after
the
vse
of
it
in
some
.
Fifthly
,
from
the
thirst
and
drouth
it
moveth
,
which
is
taken
away
by
the
vse
of
drink
.
Sixthly
,
from
the
wind
it
dryveth
forth
and
that
both
vpward
and
downeward
.
Lastly
,
from
the
giddinesse
of
the
head
,
which
proceedeth
from
a
melting
of
the
flegme
through
the
head
,
which
beeing
melted
,
it
stoppeth
the
passages
of
the
spirits
:
so
the
stronger
the
Tobacco
bee
,
the
sooner
it
melteth
it
and
more
of
it
,
and
therefore
strong
Tobacco
moveth
this
giddinesse
most
and
soonest
:
this
giddinesse
is
stopped
by
a
drink
of
ale
,
or
any
cooling
drinke
,
which
sendeth
vp
grosse
thicke
vapours
,
the
which
doe
hinder
the
further
operation
of
it
:
and
condenseth
,
or
congealeth
the
●●egme
melted
by
it
.
This
giddinesse
of
the
head
is
a
reason
that
some
alledge
to
prove
the
coldnesse
of
it
,
which
might
bee
alledged
aswell
o●
of
wine
or
strong
drinke
,
that
doeth
no
lesse
procure
the
same
dissinesse
of
the
head
but
they
will
haue
it
to
proceede
from
a
narcotick
,
or
stupefactive
qualitie
in
it
,
as
the
chesbow
,
and
suchlike
cold
things
by
their
coldnesse
doe
produce
such
effectes
,
I
wonder
how
dare
they
that
saye
so
,
bee
bold
to
vse
it
,
seeing
it
is
of
such
stupefactive
cold
,
and
doe
not
rather
abstaine
from
it
,
and
hinder
others
also
,
but
I
thinke
they
doe
jeast
,
for
if
it
were
true
that
it
were
so
as
they
saye
,
some
had
●lyed
by
it
long
agoe
,
specially
after
so
great
taking
of
it
:
I
knew
two
Gentlemen
that
after
supper
tooke
soure-score
pipes
,
if
it
had
beene
narcotick
,
they
had
never
drunken
any
more
.
The
fittest
tyme
of
yeere
for
taking
it
,
is
,
first
,
the
Winter
:
next
the
Harvest
:
last
the
Spring
:
and
no
wayes
in
Summer
.
The
moste
proper
time
of
the
daye
is
the
morning
and
evening
before
meate
,
no
wayes
after
it
,
except
it
bee
they
to
whome
of
long
it
hath
proved
helpfull
for
the
expelling
of
the
winde
,
and
digestion
of
their
meate
.
The
seasons
wherewith
it
aggrieth
best
are
the
colde
and
moistie
:
these
circumstances
remarked
taken
in
a
reasonable
quantitie
,
that
is
,
a
pipe
for
two
:
I
think
it
shall
doe
no
harme
,
yea
,
rather
freeing
the
head
of
the
great
burthen
of
●●egme
:
it
preveneeth
the
diseases
that
may
flow
from
the
aboundance
of
it
:
such
as
apoplexie
,
epilepsie
,
paralysie
,
lethargie
and
others
,
but
mee
thinks
the
Tobacco
man
barking
as
a
dogge
at
the
Moone
,
at
these
courious
observations
and
idle
restrictions
of
tobacco
,
(
for
so
hee
tearmes
them
)
and
crying
that
all
men
at
all
time
when
their
appetite
inordinate
biddeth
them
,
and
their
purse
serveth
them
may
take
of
it
,
and
it
is
no
wonder
hee
so
doe
,
for
it
is
meate
,
drink
and
cloathes
to
him
:
his
Shop
is
the
randevouse
of
spitting
,
where
men
dialogue
with
their
noses
,
and
their
communications
are
smoake
:
in
it
hee
playeth
the
Ape
in
counterfaiting
the
honest
Merchant
man
with
his
diverse
rolles
of
Tobacco
,
new
come
vp
out
of
the
cellar
,
where
they
laye
well
wrapped
in
a
dogges
skinne
and
soussed
:
hee
knoweth
himself
how
,
and
yet
sweareth
that
they
are
new
landed
from
Verinus
,
Virginia
,
or
S.
Christophers
.
If
hee
bee
not
content
with
this
,
hee
shall
haue
more
when
I
come
againe
,
as
hee
well
deserveth
:
for
his
wares
are
both
deare
and
evill
;
deare
,
while
hee
taketh
a
pennie
for
a
pipe
,
and
his
welcome
Gentlemen
:
and
evill
,
for
h●
seedeth
his
guests
neither
on
rosted
,
no●
sodden
meate
;
but
on
white
,
or
blackeburnt
meate
,
without
drinke
,

,

,

,
truncheour
,
or

,
yea
,
scarce
a

Exercise
being
ended
,
and
the
body
thereafter
having
reposed
about
the
eleventh
houre
,
or
sooner
in
the
summer
,
when
as
the
appetite
doth
require
,
let
it
bee
answered
by
meate
,
which
because
it
is
of
greater
importance
than
any
of
the
rest
of
the
circumstances
,
and
moe
inconveniences
doe
follow
vpon
the
inordinate
or
immoderate
vse
of
it
,
plures
enim
occidit
gula
quam
gladius
,
wee
shall
insist
a
little
in
it
,
first
in
generall
,
and
next
in
particulare
.
Of
meats
in
generall
.
As
good
meate
engendereth
good
blood
,
so
evill
produceth
vitious
humors
,
which
causeth
diseases
.
Let
vs
therefore
make
choise
of
the
meate
,
of
good
substance
,
of
easie
digestion
,
and
that
hath
no
abundance
of
excrements
.
The
qualities
of
meate
are
knowne
by
their
temperament
,
or
by
their
consistance
:
meates
should
not
bee
neither
over
hotte
or
colde
,
over
drye
or
moist
by
nature
,
nor
over
fatte
nor
leane
,
but
keeping
the
middes
.
Grosse
and
viscuous
meate
causeth
obstruction
(
to
these
that
haue
narrow
passages
)
in
the
liver
,
milt
,
neares
,
and
stoppeth
the
pores
of
the
whole
body
by
a
grosse
blood
,
but
these
who
are
of
a
good
constitution
,
and
hath
the
passages
larger
may
vse
of
them
boldly
without
hurte
,
for
grosse
and
viscuous
meate
nourisheth
much
,
if
it
bee
well
digested
in
the
stomack
,
it
agreeth
well
with
labourers
whose
naturall
heate
is
stirred
vp
by
their
exercise
,
as
also
these
who
haue
suffered
long
hunger
.
Light
meate
and
of
subtile
substance
are
not
meete
to
leane
people
,
and
of
a
hote
complexion
,
because
being
quickly
digested
,
they
intertaine
not
the
body
halfe
well
,
but
they
are
sitting
for
growne
,
and
grosse
bodyes
,
whose
passages
through
the
body
being
straite
,
are
not
well
aired
,
also
for
flegmaticks
,
and
for
these
who
are
of
a
weake
stomack
.
The
reparation
of
the
body
ought
to
be
according
to
the
dissipation
of
the
same
,
wherefore
they
who
are
of
hote
complexion
,
and
worketh
much
,
must
eate
more
than
cold
dispositions
and
idle
bellyes
,
whosoever
by
over-charging
of
the
stomack
giues
their
naturall
heate
much
to
doe
,
(
which
is
the
instrument
of
nature
for
nourishing
the
bodie
)
they
praecipitate
themselues
willingly
in
many
diseases
,
wherefore
every
one
should
rise
from
the
table
with
appetite
.
All
varietie
of
dishes
is
noysome
to
the
stomack
,
because
that
by
variety
,
corruption
of
meate
in
the
stomack
is
procured
,
while
as
easie
digestable
meats
are
mixed
with
difficile
,
also
men
by
varietie
,
which
giveth
contentment
to
the
tast
,
are
induced
to
surfet
:
but
this
seemeth
vnsavor●
to
the
tast
,
and
vnpleasant
to
the
eare
of
these
spycie
jacks
,
who
haue
no
vse
all
the
day
over
for
ten
fingers
but
to
fill
sixe
puddings
,
(
and
yet
a
poore
wife
will
fill
sixe
score
in
an
houre
)
whose
belly
is
become
like
the
Britones
,
who
because
of
his
wives
insolencie
,
(
that
would
needs
mount
her
tyme
about
)
and
of
his
owne
big
belly
did
apprehend
he
was
with
child
.
I
would
have
such
greasie
barrells
for
their
healths
sake
to
take
a
quarter
of
an
houres
course
betweene
the
Castle-hill
and
Arthurs
seate
twise
in
the
morning
,
comming
thereafter
(
if
they
bee
hungrie
)
to
their
dinner
made
vp
of
an
halfe
pennie
loa●e
,
two
egges
,
and
a
cuppe
of
small
Beere
:
and
after
meate
,
for
digestions
cause
returning
to
their
walke
;
going
to
bedde
without
supper
:
if
this
pyning
of
the
panch
doeth
not
make
them
light
,
I
will
haue
no
money
for
my
medicinall
receipt
.
Let
these
whose
God
is
their
bellie
,
and
guide
is
their
taste
(
for
they
inquire
still
to
Iohn
Good-Ales
house
)
and
who
are
no
lesse
nose-wise
than
a
browsters
Sowe
,
in
smelling
a
dish
of
goode
meate
a
farre
off
.
Diminish
both
of
the
quantitie
,
and
qualitie
of
their
dishes
,
and
imparte
of
the
superplus
to
their
needy
brother
,
who
is
come
of
Adam
according
to
the
flesh
,
aswell
as
they
,
and
may
bee
of
ABRAHAM
according
to
grace
,
Christians
by
profession
,
and
who
knoweth
but
Sanctes
by
election
.
Did
the
Master
preferre
thee
over
his
house
,
and
goods
for
the
satisfying
of
thine
inordinarie
appetite
,
and
thy
childrens
only
?
or
to
giue
the
bread
of
the
children
to
dogges
or
horse
,
as
our
great

doe
,
rather
than
to
the
poore

and
shall
not
thou
expect
:
yea
,
when
the
Master
commeth
,
get
the
reward
of
the
vnjust
steward
,
amend
,
or
looke
for
it
.
The
supper
must
bee
longer
than
the
dinner
,
(
if
the
body
bee
not
subject
to
distillations
)
because
the
tyme
is
longer
betweene
supper
and
dinner
,
than
betweene
dinner
and
supper
:
meate
should
bee
well
chawed
,
or
if
it
bee
lett
over
,
for
evill
chawed
meate
troubleth
the
stomack
,
hence
it
is
,
that
they
who
hath
many
teeth
liue
long
,
because
they
chaw
well
their
meate
:
light
,
liquide
,
and
meate
easie
of
digestion
,
should
be
taken
before
grosse
meate
,
and
hard
of
digestion
,
neverthelesse
when
the
stomack
is
louse
and
verïe
hungrie
,
you
may
doe
the
contrarie
.
It
is
expedient
that
every
one
should
keepe
a
certaine
houre
for
taking
of
meate
,
and
this
houre
should
bee
when
the
stomack
requires
refreshment
,
the
former
ingestion
being
digested
,
and
the
stomack
emptie
:
this
rule
is
evill
keeped
by
our
morning
drinke
,
(
which
sometime
makes
drunke
,
and
so
not
fitte
for
dinner
)
our
foure
houres
pennie
,
(
that
often
buyeth
a
pynt
of
wyne-seck
,
I
had
it
never
so
cheape
)
our
collation
after
supper
made
in
a
three
pynt
tubbe
,
(
I
can
not
call
it
a
dish
)
of
wyne
,
milk
,
suggar
,
and
some
spyces
,
I
would
content
mee
with
it
all
the
day
long
.
This
much
in
generall
,
followeth
in
particulare
to
speake
of
meate
,
and
first
of
bread
.
Of
Bread
.
Bread
keepeth
the
first
ranke
amongst
all
other
meate
,
as
the
ground
of
others
,
for
all
other
meate
(
though
never
so
good
)
are
without
it
vnpleasant
,
yea
vnwholsome
.
The
best
bread
is
that
which
is
made
of
wheate
,
good
wheate
is
grosse
,
full
,
thick
,
weightie
,
firme
,
of
collour
yallow
,
cleane
,
and
that
hath
great
quantitie
of
flower
.
Bread
made
of
pure
flower
,
well
boulted
,
nourisheth
much
in
litle
quantitie
,
but
it
is
of
slow
digestion
.
Bread
made
of
the
bran
or
clattes
nourisheth
little
,
and
filleth
the
body
with
excrements
,
and
because
the
bran
hath
an
detersile
facultie
,
it
goeth
quickly
throgh
.
Bread
made
of
both
nourisheth
well
,
and
keepeth
an
open
belly
.
Ry
bread
is
black
,
heavie
,
engendring
melancholious
blood
,
more
proper
for
rusticks
than
burgesses
.
Barley
bread
is
very
dry
,
of
little
nourishment
,
and
louseth
the
belly
:
beare
meale
is
better
mixed
with
ry
meale
,
that
the
viscuositie
of
the
one
may
be
corrected
by
the
brtitlenesse
of
the
other
.
As
for
oate
bread
it
is
more
vsed
amongst
vs
than
the
goodnesse
of
it
doth
require
.
Bread
vnleavened
nourisheth
much
,
but
it
engendereth
grosse
blood
,
it
is
of
an
evill
digestion
,
breedeth
obstructions
,
and
louseth
the
belly
.
Evill
wrought
bread
is
viscuous
,
of
evil
digestion
,
as
also
that
which
is
made
of
grumly
or
troubled
watter
,
when
it
hath
not
gotten
eneugh
of
the
fire
,
it
is
heavy
and
of
hard
digestion
,
that
which
is
hardned
in
the
oven
is
better
than
that
which
is
hardned
on
the
ashes
.
Hote
bread
by
reason
of
the
viscositie
is
hard
to
digest
,
procureth
an
inflation
in
the
stomack
,
obstruction
in
liver
,
and
other
parts
within
the
body
.
Old
bread
of
three
or
foure
dayes
losseth
all
the
taste
,
becommeth
dry
and
withered
,
evill
to
digest
,
of
slow
passage
,
bindeth
the
belly
,
and
engendreth
a
melancholious
blood
.
The
crust
of
bread
breeds
bile
,
fit
only
for
these
whose
stomack
is
moist
and
humid
:
Tairtes
,
flammes
,
pyes
;
and
all
other
sort
of
baken
meate
,
are
more
to
the
satisfying
of
the
tast
than
for
health
of
the
body
,
for
they
are
heavie
in
the
stomack
,
and
burdeneth
it
,
and
stoppeth
easily
the
passages
of
the
veines
in
the
liver
.
Of
Flesh.
Beasts
according
to
the
varietie
of
their
kynd
,
age
,
manner
of
living
,
constitution
of
body
,
and
of
the
place
where
they
feade
,
are
different
in
the
temperature
and
vertue
of
their
flesh
.
The
flesh
of
fatte
beasts
is
better
than
that
of
leane
,
and
of
libbed
than
vnlibbed
,
because
they
are
fatter
,
and
not
so
hote
,
except
it
bee
for
these
who
hath
beene
in
the
battell
where
the
vppermost
gote
the
worst
,
where
stricking
at
their
nighbour
with
over
great
force
,
and
too
good
will
,
hath
hurt
themselues
with
their
owne
speare
,
for
such
some
say
,
that
a
kynd
of
vnlibbed
beastes
are
good
:
yea
,
the
stones
themselues
.
The
flesh
of
young
beasts
,
because
tender
,
moist
,
soft
and
easie
to
digest
,
and
of
great
nourishment
,
is
better
than
that
of
old
beastes
,
which
is
dry
,
hard
,
of
litie
meate
,
and
hard
to
digest
.
The
wild
beastes
that
keepe
the
hilles
are
dry
,
and
haue
fewer
excrements
,
and
leanner
then
others
:
Galen
.
preferreth
the
flesh
of
porks
,
of
a
midde
age
to
other
beasts
,
because
it
draweth
neere
to
mans
flesh
than
others
doe
,
and
also
because
it
nourisheth
well
,
and
breedeth
good
blood
,
but
because
it
is
viscuous
,
it
is
hard
to
digest
to
these
that
hath
the
stomack
moist
,
and
humide
:
Moreover
,
as
experience
hath
taught
,
the
great
vse
of
this
flesh
causeth
leprosie
:
hence
it
was
forbidden
to
the
Iewes
,
because
they
were
subject
to
this
maladie
.
Beefe
nouisheth
much
,
but
it
engendereth
a
grosse
melancholick
blood
:
young
beefe
is
better
than
old
:
Harts
flesh
is
of
a
difficile
digestion
,
and
as
the
beefe
ingendereth
grosse
blood
.
The
goates
flesh
is
better
than
the
bucks
and
the
kiddes
than
the
goates
.
Lambs
flesh
is
better
than
Yewes
,
and
Wedders
than
Lambs
,
because
as
nourishing
,
and
not
so
humide
and
slubbrye
,
the
Rammes
is
the
worst
of
all
.
Old
haires
flesh
causeth
melancholious
blood
:
young
haires
is
better
and
more
pleasant
:
the
Coney
is
better
than
either
of
them
.
Of
Fowles
.
Amongst
the
Fowles
that
are
about
the
house
,
the
Hen
and
Capons
keepeth
the
first
rank
,
they
engender
a
blood
of
a
mediocre
substance
,
because
they
are
neither
too
hote
nor
too
cold
:
Chickins
are
more
delicate
than
they
.
The
Brissell-fowles
are
heavy
and
hard
to
digest
,
wherefore
in
France
they
are
both
larded
and
spyced
.
The
Gouse
aboundeth
in
superfluous
excrements
,
is
of
harder
digestion
than
other
sowles
,
except
the
wings
.
The
Duckes
,
and
all
other
water
●oules
is
humide
,
viscuous
,
flegmatick
,
excrementitious
,
and
of
adure
digestion
,
wherefore
they
are
not
so
wholesome
,
as
these
of
the
land
.
Amongst
the
birds
of
the
field
the
Partridge
beares
the
bell
,
being
of
easie
digestion
,
and
causing
good
blood
,
and
the
younger
are
better
than
the
elder
.
Next
the
Partridge
is
the
phesane
almost
of
the
same
qualities
that
it
is
,
the
Quallies
are
not
lesse
praised
,
except
in
the
countries
where
there
is
abundance
of
hellebore
,
whereon
they
commonly
feade
,
they
are
best
in
harvest
.
The
Doues
are
hote
of
nature
,
they
set
the
blood
on
fire
:
and
readily
of
Venus
games
moues
a
desire
,
vnfitte
for
these
who
readily
doe
fall
into
a
fever
:
The
Pigeons
are
better
than
the
doues
,
the
doues
are
best
in
the
spring
,
for
they
eate
much
corne
.
The
Coushins
flesh
is
hard
to
digest
,
yet
it
is
not
evill
in
the
winter
,
if
it
bee
suffered
to
hang
a
while
,
so
that
it
may
become
tender
.
The
Turd
or
Cuzell
is
delicious
ingendring
good
blood
,
but
some
thing
hard
to
digest
:
Martiall
extolleth
it
highly
in
these
wordes
,
Inter
aeves
Turdus
si
quis
me
judice
certet
,
Inter
quadrupedes
gloria
prima
lepus
.
Pluvers
,
mearls
,
turturelles
,
are
not
to
bee
rejected
,
for
the
former
laudable
qualities
,
which
are
to
bee
found
in
them
.
Of
Egges
and
Milke
.
The
egges
of
hennes
and
phasanes
excels
the
egges
of
other
beasts
,
gouse
egges
are
worst
of
all
,
except
swynes
egges
.
New
laide
are
better
than
old
,
and
sodden
than
fryed
,
and
rosted
than
sodden
,
and
potched
than
rosted
,
the
soft
than
the
hard
.
Milke
hath
three
diverse
substances
,
a
serious
or
watrie
,
whereof
is
the
whey
a
thicke
and
grosse
whereof
is
the
cheese
,
and
a
fatte
and
creamie
,
whereof
is
the
butter
:
but
of
our
Edinburgh
milke
where
the
two
parte
is
water
,
and
the
third
part
milke
,
there
would
bee
little
cheese
and
no
butter
.
Milke
if
the
stomack
bee
cleane
the
body
whole
,
and
no
other
meate
mixed
with
it
,
nourisheth
much
,
otherwayes
it
corrupteth
easily
and
quickly
.
Yew
milke
hath
more
of
the
grosse
&
thicke
substance
,
whereof
the
cheese
is
made
,
then
of
the
other
,
and
by
this
means
it
is
nourishing
,
but
heavie
to
the
stomack
.
Asses
milke
is
of
contrare
consistance
,
kyne
milke
is
thicker
and
fatter
then
yew
milke
,
and
so
fitter
to
make
butter
,
it
is
nourishing
and
makes
an
open
bellie
.
Goate
milke
is
neither
too
thicke
nor
too
thinne
,
neither
over
fatte
nor
over
leane
,
and
so
it
keepeth
the
middle
betuixt
extremities
,
neverthelesse
it
should
not
bee
vsed
,
either
without
suggar
or
hony
,
water
or
salt
least
it
lapper
in
the
stomack
.
Womens
milke
is
fittest
for
bairnes
or
hectickes
,
because
of
the
resemblance
of
nature
.
New
milked
milke
is
best
,
because
milk
changeth
quickly
.
Sodden
milke
nourisheth
more
than
raw
,
but
it
is
binding
because
thicker
.
Milke
of
fatte
and
lustie
beasts
is
better
than
of
leane
and
hungred
.
Fresh
butter
is
a
little
hote
,
with
time
it
becommeth
hotter
,
it
is
not
verie
nourishing
,
but
it
softeneth
and
louseth
the
bellie
,
it
is
good
for
the
lights
and
breast
.
Cheese
is
not
to
bee
much
vsed
,
for
it
ingendereth
grosse
humors
,
breedeth
obstructions
,
binds
the
bellie
,
and
is
hard
to
digest
,
the
new
is
better
then
the
old
,
the
soft
then
the
hard
,
and
that
which
is
made
of
vnrained
milke
is
better
than
of
rained
.
Over
viscous
cheese
,
as
also
over
brittle
,
is
not
good
,
mediocritie
is
best
,
cheese
without
any
evill
or
strong
taste
is
better
than
other
.
Newe
,
softe
,
and
sweete
cheese
,
is
of
a
colde
and
humide
temper
,
but
the
old
,
hard
,
salt
cheese
,
is
hote
and
dry
,
too
great
vse
of
it
ingenders
the
stone
in
the
neares
.
This
curious
sifting
of
the
nature
of
cheese
,
and
improbation
of
the
great
vse
of
it
,
will
seeme
first
ridiculous
and
then
odious
to
the
mourish
men
of
Kyle
and
Galloway
,
the
quintessence
of
whose
meat
(
that
is
milke
)
is
cheese
,
the
which
the
goodman
hath
keeped
for
his
owne
mouth
as
a
desert
,
(
being
neverthelesse
at
breakfast
,
supper
and
dinner
,
the
first
,
last
,
and
only
dish
)
and
for
the
Lairds
,
or
the
wyse
blacke
men
,
the
Ministers
,
when
they
come
abrode
:
the
bairnes
contented
with
froth
,
crap-whey
,
or
lapperd
milke
,
I
thinke
that
if
the
bodies
of
these
bodies
,
were
chymicallie
dissolved
:
the
princips
to
wit
:
sal
.
sulphur
.
and
mercurius
,
should
savour
of
cheese
,
milke
,
and
yet
they
are
as
daft
as
if
they
were
made
of
Wine
and
Wastels
,
which
they
often
speake
of
,
as
the
rarest
dainties
they
either
saw
or
hard
of
.
Of
Fish
.
Fish
are
of
complexion
cold
and
humide
,
for
being
still
in
the
water
they
must
needs
keepe
the
nature
of
the
water
,
the
●ouritute
they
giue
is
more
light
,
slub●rie
,
and
sooner
dissipate
,
than
the
reparation
,
which
is
made
by
the
vse
of
the
beasts
of
the
land
.
The
fish
that
are
of
a
solide
and
firme
substance
are
most
nourishing
and
wholesome
,
because
lesse
flegmatick
,
for
this
cause
sea-fish
because
fi●mer
are
better
than
fresh-water-fish
,
amongst
the
fishes
of
the
sea
,
these
that
vseth
about
rockes
are
best
.
Amongst
the
fresh
water
fishes
these
that
haunt
the
rivers
are
better
than
these
that
haunt
the
stancks
or
loches
:
and
fish
of
a
running
river
,
and
craggie
,
with
clear●
water
,
is
to
bee
preferred
to
them
that
are
taken
in
a
dead
running
poole
,
or
in
a
troubled
muddie
water
.
Fish
as
milk
would
bee
eaten
,
when
the
stomack
is
cleane
of
filthie
humours
,
and
they
would
not
bee
mixed
with
other
meate
,
least
they
corrupt
,
as
quickly
they
will
.
The
drowners
of
meale
with
malt
,
to
whom
the
bone
of
a
herring
,
or
a
threed
of
salt
beefe
will
serue
to
bee
kitchin
to
a
quarte
of
ale
,
sayes
,
that
fish
should
swimme
,
I
answere
,
in
water
:
but
if
thou
take
more
of
aile
,
beere
,
or
wyne
,
or
any
other
strong
drink
then
serues
to
wash
it
downe
,
it
will
come
aboue
the
broth
,
and
so
not
boile
well
.
I
will
not
insist
in
the
particulare
enumeration
,
least
it
should
reduce
the
Lector
to
a
tedious
calculation
:
the
generalls
may
suffice
,
if
they
be
well
remarked
:
It
may
be
thought
a
praeposterous
order
this
,
to
put
the
flesh
before
the
kaill
,
but
heere
I
keepe
ordinem
dignitatis

Of
herbs
fit
for
eating
.
Herbes
in
regarde
of
other
meate
are
of
little
nurishment
,
yet
they
serue
some
for
cooling
,
others
for
heating
,
being
prepared
in
broth
,
sallads
,
sauce
,
or
other
wayes
.
Amongst
the
herbs
that
are
commonly
vsed
,
the
lactuce
is
the
first
,
beeing
of
more
wholesome
sappe
than
all
the
rest
,
it
cooleth
the
body
,
procureth
sleepe
,
and
hindereth
dreames
.
The
garden
Cicorie
is
of
the
same
qualities
,
but
it
is
not
so
pleasant
to
the
tast
,
nor
of
such
good
sappe
.
The
Souroke
is
good
for
eating
,
because
of
the
sowrnesse
,
it
quencheth
thirst
,
procureth
appetite
,
and
mitigateth
the
heate
of
the
stomack
and
liver
.
Purpie
cooleth
much
,
quencheth
thirst
,
holdeth
downe
Venus
,
tempereth
the
teeth
,
being
out
of
stile
,
by
the
vse
of
soure
things
.
Kaill
ingendereth
evill
blood
,
troubleth
the
stomack
,
and
the
sight
,
and
moveth
strange
dreames
.
Spinards
●ouseth
the
belly
,
and
moisteth
the
body
,
but
they
are
windie
.
Bourrage
and
buglosse
purifieth
the
blood
and
keepeth
the
belly
open
,
their
●●owrs
are
good
in
a
sallad

But

think

without

let
vs

goe

Of
drinke
in
generall
.
Drink
,
as
I
think
(
and
so
thinks
the
drunkard
)
is
no
lesse
worthie
of
consideration
for
the
health
than
meate
.
There
bee
sundrie
sorts
of
drinke
vsed
among
vs
.
as
wine
,
ale
,
and
beere
,
for
no
man
drinketh
water
with
his
will
.
Drinke
should
bee
answerable
in
proportion
to
our
meate
,
for
if
wee
drinke
more
than
serves
to
syne
downe
the
meat
,
and
mixe
it
there
downe
,
the
meat
will
swimme
aboue
,
and
so
shall
not
digest
:
drink
may
bee
taken
more
larglie
with
dry
solide
meat
,
than
with
liquid
humide
.
They
who
haue
a
hote
liver
,
and
a
weake
head
,
subject
to
distillations
should
abstaine
from
strong
drinke
,
chiefly
after
their
meat
,
but
these
whose
liver
is
temperate
,
and
head
strong
may
take
a
lick
of
the
best
,
quale
Deus
creavit
,
after
their
fruite
,
quia
post
crudum
merum
.
It
is
not
good
to
drink
with
a
naked
stomack
,
for
presently
it
runneth
through
the
body
to
the
nerues
,
whom
it
debilitateth
,
and
maketh
the
body
the
more
subject
to
cold
diseases
,
as
the
goute
,
paralyse
,
trembling
,
and
such
like
:
It
is
also
troublesome
to
the
digestion
to
drinke
betweene
mealles
,
for
it
hindereth
the
same
,
as
water
in
a
pot
,
stayeth
the
boyling
of
it
:
because
while
the
concoction
is
making
in
the
stomack
,
the
mouth
of
it
is
closed
:
hence
is
it
that
men
much
subject
to
companionry
,
and
so
to
extraordinary
drinking
,
findeth
their
meate
still
rowing
vp
and
downe
,
some
for
their
ease
are
forced
to
cast
it
:
It
is
not
good
to
drink
when
bed-time
draweth
neere
,
for
readily
it
moveth
the
theume
to
fall
downe
,
except
it
were
of
water
after
too
much
wine
,
eiat
supper
,
or
before
,
and
that
to
hinder
distillations
.
It
followeth
to
speake
in
particulare
of
drink
,
and
first
of
wine
,
as
best
.
Of
Wine
.
Wine
is
verie
profitable
for
the
vse
of
man
,
it
stirreth
vp
the
naturall
heate
and
fortifyeth
it
,
and
so
procureth
the
appetite
,
helpeth
the
digestion
,
ingenders
good
blood
,
purifies
the
troubled
,
openeth
the
passages
,
giues
good
colour
,
cleanseth
the
braine
,
sharpeneth
the
witte
,
makes
the
spirits
subtile
,
and
rejoyceth
the
heart
of
man
,
as
sayeth
the
Psalmist
,
if
so
be
it
be
taken
moderatly
.
Wine
is
of
fiue
fold
difference
,
the
first
is
taken
from
the
colour
,
so
it
is
either
whyte
or
red
,
yallow
or
tannie
,
and
black
:
the
second
from
the
taste
,
as
it
is
either
sweet
,
sowre
,
or
of
any
austere
taste
:
the
third
of
the
smell
being
of
a
sweet
,
heavie
,
or
no
smell
:
the
fourth
from
the
consistance
,
being
either
subtile
or
grosse
:
the
fifth
,
from
the
age
,
as
it
is
old
or
new
:
Of
all
wine
the
red
and
thicke
wine
is
meetest
for
the
ingendring
of
blood
;
next
blackish
,
grosse
,
and
sweet
wine
,
to
them
succeeds
whyte
and
thick
,
or
grosse
wine
in
substance
and
austere
in
taste
,
last
of
all
whyte
thin
small
wine
:
Wine
as
it
is
agreeable
to
phlegmaticks
,
so
it
is
hurtfull
to
bilious
hote
natures
,
over
old
,
and
too
new
wine
should
be
eshewed
,
the
one
because
too
hote
,
the
other
because
no
heate
at
all
.
The
second
drink
is
beere
,
which
as
it
nourisheth
more
,
so
is
of
a
grosser
substance
and
harder
digestion
,
than
the
wine
,
if
it
bee
but
new
made
or
troubled
,
it
causeth
obstructions
,
and
swellings
,
it
troubleth
the
head
,
moveth
the
colick
,
gravell
,
and
difficultie
of
pissing
,
specially
if
it
bee
byting
,
if
it
bee
too
old
and
very
sharpe
it
hurts
the
stomack
,
and
nerves
,
and
ingenders
evill
blood
,
wherefore
it
is
best
that
is
well
sodden
,
purified
,
and
cleare
and
of
a
middle
age
.
Of
Water
.
Although
that
water
bee
the
most
simple
sorte
of
drink
,
and
the
most
common
,
yet
because
of
least
worth
it
is
put
behinde
.
Galen
.
proues
good
water
by
three
senses
,
by
the
sight
,
being
cleare
and
cleane
,
by
the
mouth
,
that
hath
no
strange
taste
,
and
so
not
bitter
nor
sowre
nor
salt
,
but
almost
without
taste
,
&
by
the
nose
that
it
hath
no
smell
,
adding
thereto
that
it
must
be
light
in
the
bellie
,
suddainly
changed
,
that
is
,
soone
hote
soone
cold
,
and
that
it
doth
not
passe
through
sulphureous
mynes
or
suchlyke
.
There
bee
fiue
sorts
of
water
,
to
wit
of
raine
,
fountaine
,
river
,
well
,
and
stank
.
Raine
water
although
according
to
the
weight
it
bee
lightest
,
yet
it
is
not
the
best
,
being
made
of
the
vapours
which
doeth
proceed
from
the
earth
,
whereof
some
be
of
the
rivers
,
others
of
loches
,
stanks
,
gutters
,
standing
waters
,
and
of
the
sea
,
as
also
of
the
exhalations
of
pestilent
places
and
of
dead
bodies
.
Fountaine
water
is
best
of
all
,
next
river
water
,
last
Well
water
,
the
worst
of
all
,
is
stank
water
,
river
water
is
the
better
it
stand
till
it
settle
,
fountaine
water
the
better
it
looke
to
the
East
,
and
Well
water
that
the
Well
bee
not
too
often
covered
,
but
that
it
get
the
aire
sometimes
.
